having grossed more than 80 million dollars plus.

The commercial will be released sometime next week in all countries but Europe.
There are three featured commercials, one with Ricki Martin which was filmed
in Australia.  Ricki after negotians with Pepsi, seduces Janet, not the other
way around which was the original plan.  Another commercial will feature Janet by
herself on a Beach sponsering Pepsi.  The third and final Pepsi commercial was filmed 
in Japan with a Japanese Entertainer.  These commercials will not be shown in the
United States.  The reason is unknown.

due to many projects and the Certification process the album has not been
certified yet.

The tripple platinum certification in the United States takes the album 'The Velvet 
Rope' to World-Wide Sales, officially to 9 million Sales.  However the accurate
figure is not yet reported.

I cannot believe this.  I am shocked.  Janet just won an Billboard Award 
for Best R&B Female Artist of 1998.  Congratulations Janet.

Also Janet is nominated for Vh-1 Artist of the Year.  Janet was Vh-1'a 
Artist of the Month, back in January of 1998.  You can vote NOW, by
calling 1-888-Vote-Vh1.  Please vote, Janet does deserve the title for
Aritst of the Year.  If she does win, there will be a Janet special all 
month long, during January 1999.

Janet won the award for Best International Female Artist at the 1998 Channel
V Awards, in Asia.  It is equal to the MTV European Award Show.

'Every Time' still has not been released to Mainstream Radio.  The reason
for this is un-known.  No future singles are scheduled, according to Virgin
recrods, via  MTV.  However, it is rumored that 'What About' and 'Velvet 
Rope' may still be scheduled for release.  Videos are also scheduled to be
made for these tracks, however these are only rumors, lets hope that they
are true.

'The Velvet Rope' fell out of the Top 100 in the Billboard Charts this week, 
from #99 to #115.  Sad news, hopefully, it'll make its way back up the
charts.

However, in better chart news, 'The Velvet Rope' is moving back up the charts
in New Zealand, Australia and Japan.  Thanks to the highly publized 'The Velvet
Rope World Tour 1998/1999'.

Movie projects may already be scheduled for Janet to work on, as soon as she
gets off the tour, it was said by a German Magazine that Janet has found a
script and is looking forward to start working on it.  This is not confirmed
by anyone of Janet's staff.
